"I love high places, there is a mage tower in Tionlis, where I often look out over the city. ”

"Auslin doesn't have such a high place, but the bell tower in the academy overlooks the whole academy. ”

"I went to the bell tower at first, but the gatekeeper wouldn't let me go up. ”

"It's okay, I'm familiar with him, that old man is just a little stubborn. ”

Relying on his friendship with the old man who asked the doorman to drink from time to time, Zhou Lie successfully took Layla to the central bell tower, although this is a place to look, but when you come to the top of the building, you can find that it is too narrow, barely squeezed two people here, the space is narrow, the window is naturally narrow, so it will be a little uncomfortable on the top of this bell tower.

So the two only stayed on it for a while before coming down.

Unknowingly, Zhou Lie became Layla's guide, and if it weren't for Wilson's speech in the afternoon, the girl magician might have wanted Zhou Lie to accompany her to the street.

Although his leisurely time was wasted, Zhou Lie didn't feel that there was any problem, after all, the other party promised to help him hide his pro-fire physique, so it was also appropriate to take the other party to visit this small campus a little as a reward.

"Is there any difference between your magician's residence and here?" Zhou Lie asked curiously.

"The magician's home is connected to his workshop, so it looks a little different on the outside, but it's the same on the inside. Layla replied.

"Is there a tree house embedded in the inside of a tree, or a room that can be selected in the air?"

"The elves who live in the trees are legends, and it is a real miracle to make the house float in the air, and it is beyond the realm of magic. But you're so curious about these things, don't you really plan to come to the magic capital to study, five years is not a long time. ”

"Do you know what the biggest difference between man and beast is?"

"Can people use tools?"

"No, man can suppress his desires and have reason, while beasts can only follow their desires. Zhou Lie's index finger circled, "I am interested in your magic culture because of desire, but my reason tells me that my responsibility is more important, so I have to reluctantly cut my love." ”

"I see. ”

In all corners of this academy, where is it suitable to bask in the sun and blow the wind and lazy sleep, where is it suitable to peek at the teacher who is grading the papers, and where can he sneak out secretly without the sight of the gatekeeper, Zhou Lie is clear, listening to Zhou Lie tell about these wonderful places and uses, Layla was amused by these funny behaviors many times.

At the end of the last lesson, twelve bells rang from the bell tower to remind the teacher that it was time to end the lesson and the students could start eating.

"Aren't you going back to your teacher?" Seeing Layla follow him to the cafeteria, Zhou Lie was a little puzzled, "The academy should have prepared lunch for you." ”

"I made an appointment with the teacher to meet in the cafeteria, and the teacher said he wanted to try the food in the cafeteria. ”

"Well, there's been a commotion in the cafeteria for a while, but I'm good to be early. Zhou Lie sighed.

Zhou Lie, who skipped class, naturally came earlier than everyone else, took the menu and lunch, and sat down in his usual position, and after a while, students came in one after another, and when Zhou Lie was about to finish solving the veal steak on his plate, the dean and Wilson Magister appeared at the door.

As Zhou Lie expected, when this kind-faced old man appeared, the students in the cafeteria were agitated, but even if the students were excited, the traditional educational constraints of Santa Fes played a role at this time, so only the blazing gaze of Wilson was cast on Wilson, not the surging crowd.

Layla trotted to her side, tilting her little head, as if talking about the experience of this morning, and then pointed in the direction where Zhou Lie was, Following Layla's point, the old mage smiled and nodded, as if to thank Zhou Lie for taking care of her.

However, Layla's move successfully diverted most of her teacher's attention, and most of these eyes came from boys, and those eyes that seemed to be able to ignite the air seemed to ask Zhou Lie how you got close to this cute girl.

Zhou Lie nodded at the old demon master in embarrassment and politeness, and then quickly swept the lunch on the plate and quickly left the cafeteria, Rao is cheeky as Zhou Lie, and he didn't dare to stay in such an anxious place.

In the large hall, the student council quartet was making final confirmations and preparations, and in the lounge on the side, the old mage and his four disciples were discussing magical knowledge, and the curious four eavesdropped on the door for a while, only to find that they had no idea what the other party was talking about.

After confirming, the four of them sat in the last row of the auditorium, and Ania asked in a curious tone, "So you just happened to meet that blue-haired girl after skipping class?"

"yes, I just wanted to get some sleep, and then I met it. Zhou Lie shrugged, before that, he had told the three of them about his encounter with Layla, of course, hiding the part where he caused the elemental crystal to react.

"Eh" Ania made a meaningful sound, and then looked at Stella on the side, Stella pretended not to see her friend's narrow gaze, and opened her mouth to tear the topic away.

"So, did she say she was testing our magical talents?"

"Well, it's said that they'll test our affinity with the elements with something called an elemental crystal, and I found out about it two years ago anyway, so it's nice to be able to listen to the talk. Zhou Lie replied.

"Without that qualification, it seems to be a good thing now. Byron on the side said abruptly.

"How can that be a good thing?" asked Stella, puzzled.

"As far as I know, magicians who enter the magic capital to study, first of all, study as an apprentice for five years, and then have an assessment every year, and only after the assessment is successful can they obtain further titles, the title level is divided into apprentices, quasi-magicians, magic masters, sages and the highest mentors, and with the growth of the title, there will be corresponding resources to open, and at the same time, they must also bear the corresponding obligations, which is nothing for us as a mentor, but it is not very suitable for Zhou Lie. Byron explained.

"It deserves to be the brains of our student council. Zhou Lie applauded, "And even if I have the talent in this area, I can only refuse, although I am really interested in magic." ”

"You're too arrogant to say that, and you'll be beaten up if you say it. Byron reminded.

"Haven't I been like this for the past two years? I just know that I've beaten a lot of people. Zhou Lie said with a grin.

"Speaking of which, we're all about to graduate. Zhou Lie's words reminded Stella of when the two first met, as one of the few Orientals in the academy, Zhou Lie was also one of the excluded members, and as soon as he came to the school, he showed his intelligence and made these Western students lose face.

But unlike other Orientals who choose to be patient, Zhou Lie, who was excluded by everyone, subdued the boys who made trouble for him one by one, causing a lot of violent conflicts, and Aniah, who is a nobleman, doesn't know why, and cleans up the mess for him all day long.

After accepting a friend's invitation to join the student council, Stella found that this unusual boy was among them, and her eyes were gradually attracted to this self-styled and maverick boy.

"What, is there anything our Stella can't help with?" Ania saw Stella's thoughts and began to tease her.

"Where there is. Stella blushed, and her eyes couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zhou Lie, and she didn't know if the other party had noticed.

"On graduation day, I thought about it a million times, and I thought I wouldn't have any nostalgia for it, but now it seems that there are still some things that I will miss, at least I am happy to be in the student union. Zhou Lie also fell into memories because of Stella's words, in the past two years of study, the only people who can really talk to are a few people in the student union, and the other students around him have distanced themselves because of his own arrogance and unruliness.

"It's good to enjoy the moment, after all, we still have more than half a year to go. Byron said lightly.

"Will Zhou Lie go back to the East by boat?" asked Stella.

"No, I'll go to Babylon, probably, for a few years. Zhou Lie replied.

"Academy of Sciences?"

Facing Stella's questioning, Zhou Lie shook his head mysteriously, after all, this is not something that can be explained to people casually.

"If you're going to go to the Academy, my father can say a few words, and I'm going to Babylon too. Byron said.

"Haha, I got my kindness, but I won't stay there for long, probably I'll go back after a tour of almost all the important cities, I told me where I'm going, you guys. Zhou Lie prevaricated.

"What else can I do, our family moved here from the north, and joining the family business is naturally our next destination. "However, our family is mainly engaged in business related to the East, so we may have the opportunity to meet in the future."

"The future businesswoman. Zhou Lie quipped.

"If I hadn't been found to have the credentials to practice magic, I would have been in charge of the family business. Stella said a little depressed, "But if possible, I will travel around the lands of our empire, and when I have been to all these places, I will go to the East to see."

"I don't see that you still have the heart of an explorer. ”

"There's nothing wrong with staying here, and I'm going to build a new research workshop here in the near future, and I'm sure it won't be worse than the Academy of Sciences in Babylon in ten years!" Byron said of his ideals.

"Then if I have the chance, I'll buy you something fun. ”

"No problem. ”

Later, Zhou Lie recalled that in this busy and idle time, the four of them didn't seem to talk about any specific words, and the knowledge told their worries and expectations for the future, and encouraged each other at the same time, at that time I felt that everything was so beautiful, and I was just a student about to graduate, and I was talking to my friends about promises that would not necessarily be fulfilled in many years.

But this kind of time, I always hope that he will pass slowly, and hope that this beauty can always remain.

The melodious bell announces the end of the lunch break, and the students outside the auditorium rush in, and Wilson's speech is about to begin.
